Called To Go Deeper
Luke 5:1-11 (NRSV)
5 Once while Jesus was
standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing
in on him to hear the word of God, 2 he saw two boats there at the
shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing
their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon,
and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat
down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4 When he had finished speaking,
he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep water and let down your nets
for a catch.' 5 Simon answered, ‘Master, we have worked all night
long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the
nets.' 6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their
nets were beginning to break. 7 So they signalled to their partners
in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled
both boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw
it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, ‘Go away from me, Lord,
for I am a sinful man!' 9 For he and all who were with him were amazed
at the catch of fish that they had taken; 10 and so also were James
and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus
said to Simon, ‘Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching
people.' 11 When they had brought their boats to shore, they left
everything and followed him.
